jQuery change iteration direction

Question

is it possible to iterate through elements from last to first one? For example from the last parent ul in a list to the nearest parent-ul one. At the moment I use each() but it would be nice to change direction...

Thanks!

You can use the reverse() method on Arrays

https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/reverse

$($("ul li").get().reverse()).each(function(){ });

or create your own function:

jQuery.fn.reverse = function() {
    return this.pushStack(this.get().reverse());
};

$("ul li").reverse().each(function(){ });
